Union Organizer Gets Fired From a Union?

From The New York Post: "In a move of stunning hypocrisy, the United Federation of Teachers axed one of its longtime employees -- for trying to unionize the powerful labor organization's own workers, it was charged yesterday.Jim Callaghan, a veteran writer for the teachers union, told The Post he was booted from his $100,000-a-year job just two months after he informed UFT President Michael Mulgrew that he was trying to unionize some of his co-workers."I was fired for trying to start a union at the UFT," said a dumbfounded Callaghan, who worked for the union's newsletter and as a speechwriter for union leaders for the past 13 years."http://m.nypost.com/p/news/local/this_oughta_teach_him_rQamwIU0sNZxyrmyNBxz4LYou stay classy teachers.
